With help from my Devuan friends the connection times have improved
significantly. After little poking around and a very interesting talk
with my ISP, I decided that the ISP's DNS resolver was contributing
significantly to the slow connection times. A suggestion from a Devuan
ninja, encouraged me install unbound. I was instructed to put the IP in
/etc/resolv.conf and to enable the prepend (I can't remember exactly
where). Now my connection times are mostly pretty snappy.

This has been an interesting, informative thread and I appreciate
everyone who shared their thoughts.

Till next time,
